I just wanted to take this opportunity to praise the work of Trooper Jackson. On 10/08/02, I was involved in a traffic crash, and Trooper Jackson was the investigating officer assigned to the incident. Throughout the entire process, he was personable, polite, and professional. He was extrememly fair, and firm when he needed to be. The driver of the other vehicle became angry and "popped off" at one point; but Trooper Jackson never lost his cool; took immediate control of the situation; and carefully explained the law to the gentleman. He made sure everyone understood the legal rights in the situation.

As a citizen of the State, it is comforting to know officers of Trooper Jackson's caliber are working to maintain the public safety. I can only guess the potential danger and frustration of being a trooper at times, but Trooper Jackson demonstrated to me that he personifies the best of the Florida Highway Patrol.
